Hi Daniel & Loana, a wonderful shot - love the composition and colour with the focus running from top left into the flower center.  Would have liked to have seen this as a focus stack with the stämen in the center comming into focus (but that's more a matter of personal taste ... since it works very well as is!)

Cheers, Mark

Beautiful, D&L. I am a big fan of MG images as they are very beautiful in the morning sun. Good, classic comp and fine detail and color in this one. I'll second Mark's suggestion about focus in the center but I'll also add that stopping down more may have allowed this as well w/o stacking.

Lovely color and classic comp. A bit more DOF to include more of the stamen, however you might have achieved it, would have improved this.

I love the colors and lines!  I like the stamens being OOF.  I think that helps create a beautiful softly glowing center in this flower.  Very nicely done!

Classic morning glory comp with great color and a nice glow.  Nice lines too.

It would be nice to clean up a bit of the pollen, but it is what it is.

I love the sense of movement created by the converging petals and the gentle colors.  Lovely
